Nurses' knowledge and attitudes about pain affect their ability to manage patients' pain. A mechanism was sought to evaluate nursing competency in pain management at eight pediatric hospitals. Several pain survey tools were reviewed, considering the patient population around which they were designed, the basis for survey content, and format. A survey with established validity and reliability, the Pediatric Nurses' Knowledge and Attitude Survey Regarding Pain (PNKAS) (Manworren 1999) was chosen as the most appropriate for this group. The tool was modified for applicability to the nurses caring for pediatric populations that do not include oncology. Revisions were made with the concurrence of Manworren to assure that neither the content being tested, nor the integrity of the tool, was affected. Stability of the modified tool (PNKAS-Shriners Version 2002) was verified by retesting 6-8 weeks after initial survey.
护士对疼痛的知识和态度会影响他们管理患者疼痛的能力。研究人员试图找到一种机制来评估八家儿科医院护士在疼痛管理方面的能力。研究人员审查了几种疼痛调查工具，考虑了它们所针对的患者群体、调查内容的依据以及格式。一种具有既定效度和信度的调查工具——《儿科护士关于疼痛的知识与态度调查》（PNKAS）（曼沃伦，1999年）被选为最适合该群体的工具。该工具针对不包括肿瘤学患者的儿科护理人员进行了修改以使其适用。在曼沃伦的同意下进行了修订，以确保所测试的内容和工具的完整性均未受到影响。通过在初次调查6 - 8周后重新测试，验证了修改后工具（PNKAS - 施莱宁斯儿童医院2002版）的稳定性。
